Chapter 709 "The Capital"

Zhang Yu went down the river and arrived in Wu County two days later.

When he arrived at the pier, Zhang Yu did not disembark immediately, but stood on a high place, watching everything below.

The pier is bigger and busier.

The wharf here not only accepts ships from the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, but also ships from the north and south from the sea.

Nowadays, there are also many ships coming from the ocean, not only from the northeast, but also from the south, and also from the southeast and Taiwan.

Here the ships are bigger and the marina is busier.

Zhang Yu stared at it for a long time, and he didn't go down until all the troops disembarked.

The busy pier did not stop because of Zhang Yu's arrival. There is a distance between the military and the civilian use. When the military pier is in use, no one around will approach it.

Zhang Yu and the others disembarked smoothly, and then they went to Wu County.

Zhang Zhao, who had already received the news, came in a hurry.

Of course, the most important thing for Zhang Zhaolai is not to meet Zhang Yu.

"Zibu, I gave you a sum of money last year, and not long ago I gave you another 100 million yuan. Why did you chase him to the dock?" When Zhang Yu saw Zhang Zhao, he remembered how Zhang Zhao often chased him for money.

"My lord, to be honest, I got a lot of money selling weapons and equipment to Yuan Shu and Sun Ce last year, but there was a war last year, and there was a big war, so let me calculate the military expenses for you," Zhang Zhao said.

"Also, you gave me a lot of money from Cai Haona not long ago, but do you know how much money you owe?"

"The money borrowed from the people and the aristocratic family has expired, and I borrowed a large sum of money from the bank to pay it back. I won't chase you for money. I'll go to someone."

Zhang Zhao got excited when he mentioned money.

In fact, the Jiangdong area is not so short of money now.

Zhang Yu owed a lot of money, but just after the autumn harvest, Zhang Zhao received a large sum of taxes, but the previous debt was indeed a lot.

Zhang Zhao collected the taxes and knew that Zhang Yu was rich, so he settled all the debts.

at the same time,

He also borrowed a sum of money from the bank, but the amount was not very large, just over ten million.

More than 10 million yuan is not a big problem for Jiangdong now, even if there is no such money, Zhang Zhao has a way to spend it.

In addition to taxes, Jiangdong also has many workshops run by Zhang Yu, which are also very profitable, and can contribute a large amount of arrears every month.

The overseas part is contributing more and more.

However, although he is rich, Zhang Zhao is also used to living a poor life. Hearing that Zhang Yu came back with a large amount of money, he hurried to the pier to stop him, and get all the money before we can talk.

Zhang Yu naturally understood Zhang Zhao's thoughts.

"Okay, first arrange a few guests to go down and rest." Zhang Yu pointed to Cao Ang and others beside him.

Cao Ang and the others were shocked. First, they were shocked by the busy pier, and second, Zhang Yu's subordinates treated him so casually, as if two friends were joking.

Zhang Yu wanted to discuss with Zhang Zhao the use of the arrears, which was absolutely confidential, even in Jiangdong, only a few people could know.

Someone arranged for Cao Ang and the others, and Zhang Yu followed Zhang Zhao back.

When he arrived at the prefect's mansion, Zhang Zhao asked, "My lord, I want at least half of this money."

Zhang Zhao naturally knew that such a large sum of money could not be "swallowed alone".

Zhang Yu shook his head and said, "I'll give you one third, and I have other arrangements."

Zhang Zhao didn't argue, and he would be very happy if he could get one third. After all, Jiangdong is very rich now, because a large amount of gold, silver, copper and iron sent from the southeast region are all settled here.

"Now that you have freed up your hands, Youzhou must also develop greatly. One third belongs to Youzhou, and the other third belongs to the bank, so as to further expand the business of the bank. However, the Youzhou bank must be divided into two thirds."

Now that his hands are free, Zhang Yu will focus on the Youzhou part.

Zhang Zhao nodded and said, "My lord, now that you are the prince and the shepherd of the two states, you should decide where to put the government office. If you don't decide, it's not easy."

"Dingdu"

Zhang Yu has never solved this problem. In the north, Zhang Yu intends to settle in Yanjing, which is also the capital of later generations.

But the South needs one too.

"Is it the magical capital of later generations or Nanjing?"

Zhang Yu was tangled, not knowing where to settle.

"Zibu, what's your suggestion?"

"My lord, it doesn't matter where the state government is located. The key is where the palace is located. From now on, the palace will be the place where government orders are issued." Zhang Zhao said.

Zhang Yu sat down.

The capital is naturally important.

In ancient times, there was a saying that the emperor guarded the border, which means that the emperor guarded the border, which is the reason why later generations will set the capital in Yanjing.

The capitals are all important military towns. At that time, the threat from the north was too great, and Yanjing was established as the capital, which could resist the invasion of the north.

"The prince's mansion is located in Kuaiji County, while the state capital on the Yangzhou side is located in Jiangling."

After careful consideration, Zhang Yu made a decision.

The palace is located in Kuaiji County, which is later known as Hangzhou, and Zhang Yu's purpose is to develop the south.

Just like the emperor guarding the border, the palace is located in the south, and there will naturally be a large number of people living in the south, which will be more conducive to the development of the south.

The seat of Youzhou is of course Yanjing. Originally, Ji County was dozens of miles away from Yanjing, and Zhang Yu was already planning to build a new city there.

Zhang Zhao didn't refute, the prefectural government is just a temporary government, it's still too early to talk about the capital.

But in Zhang Yu's heart, the capital city has been settled, and it will be punished if it is not Yanjing.

In the future, Zhang Yu will never set his capital in Chang'an or Luoyang again. Zhang Yu has already set his sights overseas. How could it be possible to set the capital in such an inland place, especially when the transportation is so underdeveloped today.

"Allocate part of the money to build the city. Chengxiong City must be built. The military of the city where the palace is located may not be the focus, but the scale must be large. In the future, it may even welcome overseas visitors."

After Zhang Yu and Zhang Zhao were confirmed, two new cities were built, one was Yanjing, and the other was Kuaiji County where the palace was located, and a big city was built in the place of Hangzhou in the later generations.

Although the investment in the two cities is huge, it does not need to be invested at one time, and there is still plenty of time.

To simply divide the spoils, Zhang Yu first divided up the wealth of more than 500 million yuan, and then subdivided it.

"My lord, the bank you established is really useful. Not to mention anything else, just this time, if you didn't borrow more than 10 million yuan from the bank first, many things would have to wait for you to bring the money back before you could do it, and it would take a lot of delay." Things." Zhang Zhao said with emotion.

I haven't used it before, and I don't know if the bank is easy to use, but after using it, I know it is easy to use.

Similarly, the private bank business has also become popular.

Many people do business with each other, especially between the north and the south, they often don't need to bring money, they only need to bring the bills issued by the bank.

Running for almost a year, no one has ever been able to fake it.

Because Zhang Yu has controlled the paper, no one can imitate the paper produced by this special manufacturing process.
